Pictures/video of birth?

When do you think you will have the first picture of your baby taken? With my ds (dear son) the first picture I have he is in his little onsie and a few hours old. I had him at home, did skin to skin but the plancenta wasn't coming out so me and a midwife went upstairs to the bathroom to help it along. This meant pictures where delayed.

This time I want a picture as soon as the baby is passed to me, I can remember what ds (dear son) was like but I'd just really like to picture. Fingers crossed I will be at home, in a pool. I'm also considering asking my mum and oh to make a kinda video diary. I'm just so keen to see the birth from the outside so to speak.

We never got a pic of the 3 of us til DS (dear son) was at least a week old. The moment he was born my mum went into my hospital case to get my camera and a diamond on her ring got caught in some net pouch thing and she was stuck for a few minutes then with all the distraction we never got a family shot in the hospital. Really regret not having that. Have pics of me and DS (dear son) at a couple of minutes old though.

I told hubby not to take any pics of me after I gave birth cause I thght I looked a state. My mum took some without me realizing and so did hubby once on ward. Although I wasn't exactly very glamorous I love those pics as it out first cuddles.
We neva really got a family pic... for a long time

This time am taking loads more pic no matter what I look like and can't wait for a family pic of the four of us and especially daughter with her sibling.... so excited thinking about it. :) come on August :)

I knew my boy was going to be taken straight to nicu (heart defect) so I made sure hubby took one of me holding him briefly for the first time...he was annoyed at the time as we had soo little time to see our son but I'm soo glad I did now... my father in law printed it straight away and I had it beside my bed in hospital :)
